riff 1 D MajorD combo,A -A7, riff 2
D MajorD combo A augmentedA - A7A7
as large as life she stood there, kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
D MajorD combo
and though several years had passed both of us still looked quite the same
A augmentedA - A7A7
I said how relaxed I'd been then asked her how she'd been all these years
D MajorD combo
she told me she was doing fine and came to see a friend who lived up here
A augmentedA - A7A7
she told me she had finished school and then went on to college for a year
D MajorD combo
I asked if she had married and slowly down here cheek there came a tear
A augmentedA - A7A7
she said just an itchy eye, it must be the weather way up here
D MajorD combo
I told her I can't stand the cold, it freezes me and I can't feel my ears
A augmentedA - A7A7
We talked a bit about MOBILE and thought about how it has never changed
D MajorD combo
I told her I was coming home to spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain
She asked if she could see me then and we could spend some time now and then
and 'cause I lived so far away there was still no chance why we could not be
friends
I drove her to the waiting plane and watched the big jet streaking through
the sky
thought about the sad young girl and the time that I just saw her cry
That flame must still be burning bright, I think I'll catch a later
flight today
